Spurs fielding trade calls for Parker

[SenorSpur]

, if they are going to offer him up, at least go to LA first and ask for Bynum.

According to Jim Buss, new acting decision-maker and the owner's son, Bynum WILL NOT be traded under any cir stances. After all, it was he who found Bynum in the first place and it is he who made Bynum is pet project. Buss is on record for declaring, on every occasion when this speculation starts, that the Fakers ARE NOT INTERESTED IN TRADING BYNUM.

if Adrian Wojnarowski says it then the talks are going on. rather it happens or not who knows but you can take it to the bank its legit

[DesignatedT]

This pretty much confirms that the Spurs will end up doing absolutely nothing come Thursday night

[Tyrone Jenkins]

I wouldn't want Bynum - too injury prone.

I'd take Odom and Shannon Brown for TP.

[Dex]

I do think it's come time to trade TP and rebuild for the future. But a 5-7 lotto pick in this draft doesn't do that for you. This makes very little sense. Are they really willing to trade TP for Tristan Thompson? Biyombo? Vesely? Marcus Morris? I don't get it. I trust @WojYahooNBA more than any other NBA source, but there's got to be a of a lot more to the story. We're missing some big details right now.

Exactly.

If it were Hill, I could understand. Hill may be better than the 26th pick that was used for him, but I think he may be showing his ceiling...and that's not by much.

But trading a Finals MVP for a not-so-high draft pick in a weak draft? Just does not compute.

[SenorSpur]

Good to hear they're at least active in trying to see how they can improve while getting younger. Not sure if making Hill the starting PG is the right direction though.

I don't think that trading Parker is the right decision. I'd prefer that they trade Hill instead. Even if it means getting in the back end of the lottery, that's still a good move.

[SenorSpur]

Agreed. Wojo has excellent sources, reports only facts and doesn't publish any bullcrap. If he reports it, you can bet that talks are indeed taking place.

[MI21]

George Hill strikes me as 15MPG type of guy on a contending team, not the 30MPGish he plays with the Spurs.

If you can trade him for a lottery pick, that has to be done, especially if the front office have a particular guy in mind.

Trading Parker in this draft doesn't really make sense to me.

[DAF86]

No, don't give up yet.

[Sisk]

If we trade TP but hold on to RJ it's a terrible trade imho. Have to get rid of that sack of .

[jag]

PG's like TP are extremely valuable. I am going to be furious if they trade TP. The only way I would be even remotely "not pissed" (because I won't like any trade where it involves the big 3) is if they unload RJ with him, get into the lottery and get young talent back for him.

[widowmaker]

Smokescreen rumor! Lol.

[MaNu4Tres]

Exactly.


But trading a Finals MVP for a not-so-high draft pick in a weak draft? Just does not compute.

I'm a fan of Tony and his play in 2007.

But since then, where has THAT Tony been come playoff time? It's like Spursfans are still stuck in 2007 and put Tony on this superstar pedal-stool for playing out of his mind for four games against Daniel Gibson.

Don't get me wrong, Tony is a great player. I just don't see him as untouchable as many of posters here do. Nor do I expect the Spurs to get a superstar in return in a trade for Tony.

Spurs would be wise to move Tony, but for the right deal.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

So you guys are going to trade Parker for Kemba Walker? Brilliant.

[Cane]

While George Hill isn't a PG, Tony Parker's not much of one either especially after that stinker of a playoffs run: 31 assists to 21 turnovers. As a Spurs fan it also sucks that he basically nuked the locker room chemistry by getting involved with stupid stuff like sexting Mrs. Barry. But I doubt there's a trade thats worth it.

[MaNu4Tres]

So you guys are going to trade Parker for Kemba Walker? Brilliant.

Probably Kemba Derozan and Ed Davis tbh.

[Ditty]

Probably Kemba Derozan and Ed Davis tbh.

I could live with that I hope its hill and spurs can get a chance by getting Chris Singleton.

[SenorSpur]

For a draft pick only??

I thought the same thing.

If the Spurs ARE fielding offers for Parker, they'd better get back their pick and a player in exchange for him. If Parker is indeed the trade bait and if Sacto is the trading partner, they'd better get back both their pick and a player like Omri Casspi. Imagine it. In such a scenario, the Spurs come away with Casspi and the #7 pick in the draft.

I would give anything to know which player they would be hot after, if they did this deal. I don't necessarily condone getting rid of Parker, I'd rather they trade Hill instead, but Parker obviously would net the best trade value.

Either way, a trade of this type would help stop some of the bleeding and plug some of the lineup cracks that have been exposed.

[blizz]

only way i trade tp is for the #2...otherwise it's a ty deal.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

We can give you the 8th pick and Rip for Parker.

[rascal]

Agreed. Wojo has excellent sources, reports only facts and doesn't publish any bullcrap. If he reports it, you can bet that talks are indeed taking place.

CBS Sportsline is also reporting it.

[elemento]

You guys are insane if you think the Raptors are going to give us their entire young core + the 5th pick for Tony Parker. They are not that dumb.

I would be happy with something like Jason Thompson + Omri Casspi + 7th pick.

[Spurtacus]

I hope the Spurs aren't after Enes Kanter. No ing way I'd trade Parker for Kanter.

[DPG21920]

Would prefer to keep him but wouldn't mind trading him for the right pieces and if it somehow allows us to unload RJ as well.

[MaNu4Tres]

I really like Jason Thompson. (Not saying I like the deal.)

He'd start at the PF next year if that deal happened( RJ/TP for Thompson, Casspi, and 7th). Hopefully, Spurs demand a future 1st as well if that deal is proposed and considered.
